“Fun for the whole family!”

Left on 10/25/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Oct 25, 2013Stayed Oct 2013

Great time, beautiful views, fabulous cabin. Couldn't have enjoyed it more. Fishing is best at night in front of the cabin (catfish and carp), head up river or into deeper waters during the day (walleye, bass, lake trout).

So glad you boys had a good time. I've got your deposit for your stay in March and look forward to seeing you again. Thanks so much for your kind words, they are most appreciated.

“Magnificent Cabin with incredible view!”

Left on 10/23/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | Denise & MarkReviewed Oct 23, 2013Stayed Oct 2013

We've rented villas and properties all over the world...we really prefer that to hotels...and this is one of the best places we've rented, bar none.
It's a bit off the beaten path, away from the 'touristy' areas, like Gatlinburg (which is just fine with us) but is still only a 20-30 minute drive to the nearby college/tourist/ski town of Boone, NC, which has anything you need.
The home itself is huge, three stories, and gorgeous, on a ridge overlooking Lake Watauga. The views of the lake and the mountains are excellent.
The Great Room: Spacious & open with floor to ceiling windows, and a deck off the side, with rockers and gliders, overlooking the lake with views of the mountains. Great place for morning coffee and evening drinks at sunset.
Stone gas fireplace with remote control.
Bedrooms: on the main floor is one master suite with a king bed and it's own deck overlooking the lake, with two log rocking chairs. There is an en-suite bath, and although it's not really very large. it's perfectly adequate, with two sinks in the vanity.
Above the master suite, and overlooking the great room is a sleeping loft with a queen bed.
Lower level: Three bedrooms, one is a second master with bath and queen bed, the other two have two full beds in each. On this level there is also a game room, pool table, a huge Jacuzzi for 7, and another gas fireplace, along with a large deck with rockers and a porch swing.
The kitchen: Excellent! Well furnished, and has two large refrigerators. There are also all the small appliances you could possibly need, including a gas grill outside that has a dedicated gas line so you never run out of propane! It's a joy to cook here.
Best of all was the customer service! Management is available 24/7 and the only problems we had (glitch with internet and TV, and hot tub programming issue) were dealt with within a couple of hours at most.
We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect mountain lake vacation!

Thank you so much, your kind words are most appreciated.. Yes, the views there are second to none. So glad you enjoyed them as much as we do. Look forward to hearing from you all when you're ready for a return trip this direction.

“Great family retreat!”

Left on 03/25/2013 for a stay in March 2013 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Mar 25, 2013Stayed Mar 2013

Our family had a wonderful stay at Red Top. The kitchen was well stocked and the whole house was immaculate. There were plenty of towels to support 13 people (including 7 kids) getting in and out of the hot tub several times a day. The views from the living room, bedrooms and all of the decks were amazing. It is very rural and quiet. I do wish there would have been more to do in the entertainment room like foosball and arcade games, etc, but otherwise it was wonderful. We would definitely stay there again and have already recommended it to other family members. There was a lady bug problem that we fought the whole time were there and informed the owner of. I would definitely check to make sure the problem was taken care of before I went back for another stay, but that was the only drawback. It was a near perfect week

“Great trip, look forward to next year.”

Impressed with the house. Everything described on the web site. Perfect for extended family and/ or a group of teenagers(I took both). If you are looking for a place to stay where you can actually relax, this is the place. 45 minutes from Ski Beech and 50 minutes from Sugar, Boone and Blowing Rock. Would recommend highly.
